This disturbing video shows a massive rat with a doughnut in its mouth JUMPING across a Krispy Kreme car park.

Onlooker Emma Higham, 24, said it looked "like something straight out of Ratatouille" and she was put off the snack she had just bought from the store.

The hospital worker said she watched the rodent shoot out of a bin near the drive-thru in Trafford with a ring doughnut in its mouth.

A video taken on her mobile phone shows the furry pest running under a Krispy Kreme bin and then repeatedly leaping across the car park with the snack in its jaws.

Emma, who was parked up eating a doughnut and milkshake at the time, said: "It had to jump because the doughnut was that big.

"It was disgusting - totally disturbing," she continued. "The rat was massive.

"I gave my partner my doughnut because it was hanging. It put me off my food completely."

Emma and partner Chad Berrisford, 26, from Oldham, had been through the drive-thru and stopped in the car park to eat when they spotted the rat on Sunday.

They claim the rat jumped in and out of the bin at the side of the store in Barton Dock Road before scurrying under the van to eat the snack.

A seagull swooped down to get in on the action, frightening off the rodent which then returned to finish its meal.

"It was straight in the bin and then trying to find somewhere to eat it," said Emma.

"The way it did it, it must have done it before.

"It was like something straight out of Ratatouille.

"I won't be eating there again."

A formal complaint has been made by the couple to Krispy Kreme.

A spokesman said: "We take our food hygiene very seriously and immediately called in pest control who gave the premises the all clear. In addition, we are also conducting our own investigation into the matter.

"Krispy Kreme has an exemplary food safety record and we endeavour to take care at all stages of our food production process to ensure that products are produced in a hygienic and safe manner."
